I grew up in WNY in the '40's & '50's and bought FB cards almost at the same time I bought BB.
Started w/ BB in '48 & '49, then started FB w/ the 1950 Bowman issue as soon as they hit the market & BB season was over. I have complete Bowman sets from 1950, '51 Topps Magic, & both '51 & '52 Large, all saved & bought originally in packs. Of course BB was my main sport, but wanting to collect year round back then I bought FB & NonSport as well. So did my friends, but BB was #1 w/ all of us!! In the past few yrs I had my 1950 & '52 Large completely graded by SGC, just as I had saved them all these yrs, both the good & the not-so-good! Both sets have a grade average of just under 8 on the SGC Registry. I just this month decided to upgrade a few of the 1950 set that were in lesser condition, but have not entered them on the Registry at this point. Here are a couple of names you will recognize from my '52 Large set:
